Chomp Into Chomps

I was fortunate enough to receive samples of Chomp’s Snack
Sticks recently in exchange for a review. So I guess this is a sponsored post. While I was provided with the items
are no charge rest assured faithful followers, the opinions expressed are mine
and mine alone.

The Product

Chomp’s is a beef snack stick that is made from 100% grass
fed New Zealand beef. Why New Zealand
beef, that’s simple the beef is higher in nutrients. The founder of the company, Pete Maldonado,
set out to create a healthier version of the Slim Jim that we see at all
convenience stores. He came up with a recipe that is gluten-free. And it
contains meat that is not pumped full of antibiotics.

What I Liked and Disliked

First off, these snacks sticks are packaged like most of its
competitors. They came in the familiar plastic wrap that protects the snack. I
was provided with three different flavors
Crankin’ Cran, Original and Hoppin’ Jalapeno. I opened up the the
Hoppin’ Jalapeno, or I should say I tried to rip it open, but it didn’t happen.
I had to find a pair of scissors to cut the package. I finally got the package
open, and I took a bite. I liked what I tasted. It wasn’t tough, and there was the distinct
taste of a jalapeno. I thought this is pretty good.

Next, I decided to look a little more closely at the
package. I was pleased to see that the ingredients were all words that I was
able to pronounce. That’s not the norm in snack sticks. So I was pleased. The
package directed me to the website http://gochomps.com.
So I went to the site. I read through the information. Things looked pretty
good.

The product claimed to be healthier than its competitors. So
I decided to check out their sites. And low and behold the claims were right. Chomps
are higher in protein, and I was really pleased to see it was much lower in
sodium.

I tasted the the other two flavors. The original flavor had
that distinctive beef taste a beef stick should have. And the Crankin’ Cran had
a slightly sweet taste. I think that the Crankin’ Cran was my favorite.

I really liked that these snacks aren’t packed full of
sodium. I didn’t have the desire to drink a gallon of water after I ate one. I
always feel that way when I eat similar products. And I really like that they
are healthy snack I can eat on the run. The website prices the items at $11.50
for a 5 pack. And other products cost around that at the health food store. So
the price isn’t bad. The two things I don’t like are I don’t know where to find
them locally. It would be nice if the website told you how to do that. And the
package was a little difficult to open. But overall, this is a great product
and I will definitely be looking for Crankin’ Cran snack sticks made by Chomp’s
when I’m out and about.
